It is not yet timely for the House of Justice to make a
pronouncement in favour of any particular language—the important thing now, in
this particular field, is for Bahá’ís to promote the principle. Learning
Esperanto, or one of the other proposed auxiliary languages, brings one into touch
with people all over the world who are conscious of the need, who are
internationally minded, and who may well be attracted to the Faith. Therefore,
if you have a particular interest in this subject and an inclination to study
Esperanto, you should feel no inhibitions about doing so. - The Universal House of Justice (From a letter dated
2 June 1982 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an
individual believer; compilation: The Principles of an International Auxiliary
Language’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of
Justice’, 2002)
